Phones support proxies natively only on **Wi-Fi** and only for **HTTP**. For SOCKS5, for mobile data, or for apps that ignore the system proxy, use a proxy client app.

## iOS and iPadOS (Wi-Fi, HTTP)[#](#ios-and-ipados-wi-fi-http)

- **Settings → Wi-Fi**, tap the **(i)** next to the connected network.
- Scroll to **HTTP Proxy → Configure Proxy → Manual**.
- **Server**: `fr.mobile.gw.proxuno.com` (or the static IP / `resi.gw.proxuno.com`).
- **Port**: the HTTP port, e.g. `10421` (residential `7000`, static `8000`).
- Turn **Authentication** on and enter the username and password.
- **Save**, then open `https://api.ipify.org` in Safari to check the IP.

The setting applies to that Wi-Fi network only. iOS remembers it per network.

## Android (Wi-Fi, HTTP)[#](#android-wi-fi-http)

Menus vary by manufacturer; on stock Android 13–15:

- **Settings → Network & internet → Internet**, tap the gear next to the connected Wi-Fi.
- Tap the **pencil** (edit) icon, open **Advanced options**.
- **Proxy → Manual**.
- **Proxy hostname**: `fr.mobile.gw.proxuno.com` · **Proxy port**: `10421`.
- Save.

Android's built-in proxy has **no username/password fields**. Either:

- whitelist the public IP of the Wi-Fi network in [Settings → Proxy access → IP whitelist](/dashboard/settings#access) (see [IP whitelist](/docs/ip-whitelist)) — works for mobile and static ISP proxies; or
- use a proxy client app (below) — required for residential, which always needs credentials.

Chrome on Android honours the Wi-Fi proxy; many other apps do not.

## Proxy client apps[#](#proxy-client-apps)

To route **all apps**, on Wi-Fi or mobile data, with authentication and SOCKS5, use an app that creates a local VPN interface and forwards traffic to the proxy:

| Platform | Typical apps | Protocols |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Android | Super Proxy, Postern, Every Proxy | HTTP, SOCKS5 with authentication |
| iOS | Shadowrocket, Potatso, Surge | HTTP, SOCKS5 with authentication |

Configuration is the same everywhere: type (HTTP or SOCKS5), server, port, username, password. For SOCKS5 use the SOCKS port (mobile: HTTP port + 10000; residential `7001`; static `8001`). Enable "proxy DNS" / "remote DNS" if offered.

These apps are third-party software; review their permissions before installing.

## Rotating from the phone[#](#rotating-from-the-phone)

Save the mobile proxy's rotation link as a home-screen bookmark (Safari: Share → Add to Home Screen; Chrome: ⋮ → Add to Home screen). Opening it rotates the IP and shows the JSON response with the new address. Wait 10 seconds between two taps.

## Checks and caveats[#](#checks-and-caveats)

- Open `https://api.ipify.org` to confirm the exit IP, and a geolocation site to confirm the country.
- With a Wi-Fi proxy, apps can still leak your real IP through WebRTC or by bypassing the system proxy. Use a client app when that matters.
- Push notifications and some system services bypass the proxy by design.
- Battery-saving modes can pause VPN-based proxy apps in the background.
